The three of them were hurrying on their way, when suddenly a dozen or so men jumped out in front of them, all holding sticks, knives and forks in their hands. The strong man who hit the head was holding a bull-eared knife and stopped the three of them: "Stop! Who are you and what are you doing here!"

At first, Lian Chung thought that he had encountered a shearing thief, but after a closer look, he found that these people were dressed plainly and did not look like strong men. Monk Chao Xiulin said: "These mountain people are a little weird, you go and ask." ”

Monk Xiulin walked for a day and finally returned to some soul. He didn't want to greet anyone, and asked, "Why do you want me to go?

Zhang Linghui chuckled and said, "This place is not far from Tianyin Temple, maybe they have heard of the great name of Monk Xiulin." Besides, you are handsome and extraordinary, and you can save a lot of trouble. ”

The three of them discussed in a low voice, and the strong man over there shook the sharp knife in his hand and shouted, "What are you muttering!"

Monk Xiulin glanced at the two of them, and said in front of him: "The little monk is a true monk of Tianyin Temple. These two are my friends, not bad people. ”

Those mountain people saw that the three of them behaved and behaved, and they were all good, and they were already timid. When the strong man heard that it was a monk from Tianyin Temple, he hurriedly instructed his companion to put away his stick, and saluted Xiulin: "Master must not blame. The small one is named Cao Caoming. There are demons in our village, and they often come out in the evening to harm people. We are all villagers from Chenjiaao in front of us, and we came to eliminate the demon on the order of the local Lizheng. ”

Lian Chung looked at their weapons, they were nothing more than some sticks and farm tools made by himself, this Cao Cao's pig-killing knife was the only iron weapon, how could he get rid of the demon and subdue the demon? The three of them looked at each other with an unbearable look. Although Cao Caoming was a rural villager, he had a very good eye, and knelt down to the three of them and said, "Please monk, the hero and the heroine draw their swords to help!" The people behind him saw him kneeling, some of them knelt down as if they had a big understanding, and some of them were still at a loss.

Xiulin hurriedly helped him up and said, "Eliminate the demon guard, that's my generation's duty, donors don't have to be polite." He pondered for a moment and asked, "Does anyone here know the details of this demon?"

Seeing that he intended to get rid of the demon, the strong man immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes! Yes! There is a local lady Cao, whose youngest son was captured by the demon but escaped. I was a little frightened, but I was able to speak a word occasionally. ”

Xiulin nodded and said, "So, please lead the way." The strong man said yes and went to open the way.

Lian Chung said softly: "Monk, aren't you in a hurry?

Xiulin also said sneakily: "If you are nosy, you can mix a free meal!"

Lian Chung and Zhang Linghui laughed dumbly. Lian Chung said: "No wonder Su Xiaolan's little girl was deceived by you." ”

Xiulin feigned anger and said: "Don't talk about my little girl!" After a pause, he said: "Demon Removal Guard, what's the matter if you go back a few days late?"

Lian Chung and Zhang Linghui nodded slightly. Tianyin Temple has always been compassionate and compassionate, and Monk Xiulin usually seems to be able to laugh at everything, after all, before the big right and wrong, there is no ambiguity.

The three of them followed the mountain people to a house. The mountain village is not rich, and this family is even more chaotic and leaky, which can only be barely said to be a place to live, not a house.

The strong man shouted Cao Niangzi twice at the door, and a young woman came out of the chaimen. The cloth dress is extremely simple, and there are tear stains on the face. Seeing the crowd in front of the door, his expression was even more anxious, and he said in a low voice: "Second uncle, my Xiaolin doesn't recruit demons. ”

Second Uncle Cao Caoming said loudly: "Lady Cao doesn't have to be afraid. These three immortals were invited by us to subdue demons. Don't be afraid, let your Xiaolin come out quickly. ”

That Cao Niangzi was very afraid, and snorted: "I, my family doesn't need to get rid of demons." ”

Cao Caoming said angrily: "You woman, what nonsense are you talking about! These three are heroes who can't be found with lanterns, and they have come to save the lives of our village! Needless to say, let your little Linzi come out!" He turned to the three and explained: "Monk, hero, woman, don't be angry." Cao Niangzi's family once came to a Taoist priest, who had no skills, and looted a lot of money and wanted to defile her body, so she was very afraid. When Mrs. Cao saw him say in front of so many people that she was almost dirty, she was ashamed and anxious, and whimpered softly.

Zhang Linghui stepped forward, smiled at Cao Niangzi first, gently stretched out his hand to hold her, and output a burst of clear spiritual energy. Her face is as beautiful as a fairy, and her faint smile is very kind at this time, so Cao Niangzi is not very afraid. If Lian Chung had been replaced, she would have been unable to speak clearly. Zhang Linghui waited for her to slowly calm down before he said softly: "Sister don't be afraid. This is, it is my husband, and that master is a senior monk of Tianyin Temple, and we are not villains. Her voice was calm, but Lian Chung heard a hint of trembling.

Cao Niangzi hung her head and nodded. After a long time, the three of them and Cao Caoming were invited in. The house was surrounded by four walls, with a kitchen on one side and a bedroom on the other, and there was no separation at all. In the bedroom, on a clay kang lay a child of six or seven years old, who looked innocent. Next to the kang was a wooden table with a broken leg, a stone cushion, and some female red work was messily placed on it. Cao Niangzi blushed suddenly, and put the things on the table into a box indiscriminately.

There was a belly pocket embroidered with magpies in those female red jobs, and Monk Xiulin just didn't see it, and looked at the child carefully. The child's face was dark, and although his eyes were open, he did not seem to see anything, and his mouth was still drooling. Cao Niangzi carefully wiped him away, and her eyes were full of tears again.

Zhang Linghui reached out to check Xiao Linzi's pulse, and injected a trace of true qi, and walked slowly in his body for a week, his brows furrowed. Cao Niangzi kept looking at her face, and when she saw that her face was uncertain, tears fell down her eyes, and she stammered: "Immortal, Immortal, isn't my little Linzi in the way?"

Zhang Linghui didn't answer, and his hand was slightly strained, breaking through the blocked meridians in the child's body. The boy screamed strangely, his eyes rolled and his body trembled. Cao Niangzi was frightened and screamed and rushed to save her child, but was stopped by Monk Xiulin. When she saw that the child was in pain, she was like a madman, and she kicked Monk Xiulin in the leg, crying and rushing to the couch. Xiulin almost couldn't catch her, so he had to click on her soft. Cao Niangzi cried and screamed "Lin'er, Lin'er", but she couldn't move. Zhang Linghui summoned the white tiger roaring into the sky. Xiaotian sniffed Cao Lin'er twice, scaring Cao Niangzi so much that she almost fainted. If it weren't for Xiulin's restraint, he would have to pounce on it immediately.

The white tiger roared around twice, and suddenly roared at Cao Lin'er, and the sound seemed to be substantial, hitting Cao Lin'er. Cao Lin'er stopped struggling, a trace of white gas spat out of her mouth, and there was a trace of blood on her face. The white tiger roared and disappeared.

Zhang Linghui raised his hand and lifted his weight lightly, dissipating the trace of white gas. Then he smiled apologetically at Cao Niangzi and said, "Sister, don't worry. The noble son was just taken out of his soul and soul, and was forcibly poured into the soul of a demon, so he got this soul-leaving disease. I have dispelled the foreign spirit. Now all you have to do is find the demon and put Childe's soul back. ”

Cao Niangzi was overjoyed when she heard this, and she suffered from gains and losses, Xiulin solved her acupoint, but she was still slumped on the bed, trembling and unable to speak. Everyone knew that she was in a mood and was frightened, but she did not rush. Cao Niangzi looked at her son, and finally had the strength to get up, but she blushed and didn't know how to ask for help, so she only knelt and kowtowed. Monk Xiulin helped her up and said with a smile: "The female benefactor doesn't have to worry. These two friends of mine are both masters of subduing demons and collecting demons, and with the two of them, your son will be safe. ”

Cao Niangzi climbed onto the kang and hugged her son in her arms, knelt down for the three of them with tears and said: "The little woman has no long things, as long as the three can save my child, the little woman is willing to be a slave and a maid, and serve for life!"

Zhang Linghui helped her up and said, "Sister doesn't have to be like this. You put the little boy down, and I'll ask him something. Cao Niangzi gently put her son down and waited quietly on the side.

Zhang Linghui entered another breath of true qi, Cao Lin'er rolled her eyes twice, and called her mother softly. Cao Niangzi answered, but she didn't dare to step forward. Zhang Linghui said lightly: "Xiao Lin'er, can you hear me?"

Cao Lin'er looked at her, squeezed out a smile on her little face and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful, like a fairy." He was injured for more than ten days, and for the first time he said a whole sentence, Cao Niangzi burst into tears with excitement.

Zhang Linghui smiled lightly and said, "Thank you Xiao Lin'er." Can you tell my sister what happened?"

Cao Lin'er squeezed her eyes in some pain, with a frightened expression on her face, but she answered softly. Zhang Linghui saw that this child was very sensible, and couldn't help revealing a trace of motherhood, and said gently: "Lin'er is so brave." ”

Cao Lin'er squeezed a smile out: "Well, I'm as brave as my mother." The mother dares to fight the wolf. Everyone couldn't imagine that the delicate and timid Cao Niangzi had such a feat, and they couldn't help but glance at her, making her face flushed.

Zhang Linghui gently held his little hand and said, "Lin'er is great, and your mother is also great." ”

Cao Lin'er smiled back: "Sister, you are also very powerful." ”

Zhang Linghui smiled. Cao Lin'er took a break and said slowly: "I went to the mountain to mow the grass that day and saw a hare. I want to catch it back, so I can eat hare meat with my mother. As a result, the farther and farther he went, the farther and farther he went, and the rabbit disappeared all at once. I was about to walk back when I met a very fierce aunt dressed in red. It seemed very happy to see me. She slapped me twice and I didn't know anything. Then I sometimes woke up and sometimes went to sleep. One time when I woke up, there was no one watching, so I sneaked out. My mother happened to be looking for me in the mountains, so she took me back. ”

Cao Niangzi thought of the helplessness and despair at that time, her heart was sour, and she sobbed softly on the side. Cao Lin'er raised her little hand, as if to comfort her, and said softly: "A-Niang doesn't cry." It's not pretty to cry. ”

Cao Niangzi finally couldn't bear it anymore, rushed up and hugged him in her arms and cried. The hearts of all the people were filled with compassion. After all, Cao Lin'er is still missing a soul and a soul, Zhang Linghui was afraid that he would be too sad, so he gently pulled Cao Niangzi away and said, "Sister, don't be sad." Lin'er is still missing her soul now, and she can't stand it. Cao Niangzi was shocked, hurriedly suppressed her tears, and only held the child firmly in her arms.

Zhang Linghui asked again: "Xiao Lin'er, do you remember where the demon's cave is?"

Cao Lin'er nodded and said, "It's just the three Liangs in front." But I don't know which hill it is. ”

Cao Caoming interjected: "Sanjialiang is less than four miles ahead. It's gloomy over there, and few people have ever gotten there. Turning his head to look at Cao Niangzi: "You are a woman who dares to look for it." Cao Niangzi bowed her head and was silent.

Zhang Linghui sighed: "Xiao Lin'er's bones are strange, and they are indeed good and beautiful. No wonder you're taken by demons. Who's this kid's father?"

Cao Niangzi blushed and didn't speak. Cao Caoming sighed: "It's a talent in this village. When he went to the city to catch the exam, he was killed by a strongman. Cao Niangzi suffered for herself, her face was pale and she burst into tears.

Zhang Linghui nodded slightly, and said to Lian Chung and Xiulin monks: "Then let's go now?"

The two nodded yes. Cao Niangzi snorted: "Three, three immortals, do you want to go again after dinner?" looked at her clay bowl and earthen stove, and couldn't help but blush and lower her head. Cao Cao ordered: "Why don't you go to my house for dinner, and then go to subdue the demon?"

Zhang Linghui smiled and said, "Don't bother. We are not hungry. He smiled at Cao Lin'er and turned to go out. Cao Lin'er smiled back, but she felt unusually sleepy and fell asleep.

The three of them asked Cao Caoming for directions, and swept away, as fast as a horse, and stunned those mountain people. The strong man rubbed his eyes and sighed: "Now Xiao Lin'er should be saved." ”
